AI Crawlers Visibility, Analytics & Control<\/strong> is a WordPress plugin that helps site owners see how AI systems crawl their content, control access with robots.txt and PHP blocking, and keep a clear audit trail of bot traffic.<\/p>\n\n As AI search engines, chatbots, and training crawlers visit your site more often, you need visibility into who is accessing your pages and whether that access aligns with your content strategy. This plugin gives you a dedicated AI crawler analytics dashboard<\/strong> and practical bot control tools<\/strong> without replacing your existing SEO or security plugins.<\/p>\n\n AI companies use automated crawlers to index, train on, or retrieve website content. Common examples include GPTBot<\/strong> (OpenAI), ClaudeBot<\/strong> (Anthropic), Google-Extended<\/strong> (Google), Bytespider<\/strong> (ByteDance), CCBot<\/strong> (Common Crawl), and many others.<\/p>\n\n With this plugin you can:<\/p>\n\n AI crawler analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n 68+ built-in AI crawlers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Custom crawler detection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n robots.txt control for AI bots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n PHP blocking (403)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Data management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Clean admin experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n The free version includes crawler analytics, monitoring, robots.txt rules, PHP blocking, custom crawlers, and data retention controls. Premium features (AI Visibility Score, llms.txt, JSON-LD, email alerts, exports, and MCP integrations) are planned for a future release.<\/p>\n\n\n The plugin ships with 68+ built-in crawlers including GPTBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, Amazonbot, Bytespider, CCBot, PerplexityBot, Applebot-Extended, Meta-ExternalAgent, and more. You can also add custom user-agent patterns for bots not in the list.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. Tracking is enabled when you turn it on, but blocking is opt-in. Use robots.txt rules<\/strong> to disallow crawlers in robots.txt, or PHP blocking<\/strong> to return a 403 response. Both can be configured per crawler from the AI Crawlers settings screen.<\/p><\/dd>\n Blocking AI training or retrieval crawlers is separate from traditional search engine indexing. Disallowing GPTBot or similar bots in robots.txt does not block Googlebot or Bingbot by default. Review your robots.txt preview and allow crawlers you still want to reach your site.<\/p><\/dd>\n Open AI Crawlers \u2192 Analytics<\/strong> in your WordPress dashboard. You will see stats, charts, top crawlers, recent requests, and blocked attempts once AI crawlers visit your site and tracking is enabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n No. robots.txt rules are injected via the WordPress Export is planned for a future premium release. The current version stores logs in your WordPress database with configurable retention.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Crawler detection runs on front-end requests. PHP blocking executes early in the request lifecycle. As with any blocking plugin, test on staging if you use aggressive caching or a reverse proxy.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\nWhy monitor AI crawlers on WordPress?<\/h4>\n\n
